We introduce a model compound featuring a spin-1/2 frustrated square lattice partially coupled by spin-5/2. A significant magnetization plateau exceeding 60 T could be observed, indicating a quantum state formed by $S$ = 1/2 spins in the…

Emergent $U(1)$ gauge theories and artificial photons in frustrated magnets are outstanding examples of many-body collective phenomena. The classical and quantum regimes of these systems provide platforms for classical and quantum spin…
